Reply With Quoteok, its working again... weird
its only the 2nd day and the selenoid from bioplast is damaged or something. buzzing noise when powered on and its not letting any air through, I increased the pressure, it burst the co2 tubing.
gah
ok, its working again... weird
confirmed not working again.
seems like if the pressure at the input is high (ie: after running a bit. if you turn off the selenoid by timer, when you turn it on again, it buzzes and doesn't open up).
need to talk to bioplast tommorow.
and the co2 tubing exploded again (at the input end).
which is: when the buzzing happens, it gets really hot, and the temperature weakens the co2 tube (its the black extremely tough type) and it burst.
let me know how this turns out
i had the same problem with the industrial solenoid i had the other time
couldn't resolve it
bioplast refunded me the money.
a) taiwan regulator with only one regulator cannot be used. the input pressure becomes too great for the selenoid to open up.
b) only regulators with 2 pressure displays can use with selenoids unless you get a heavy duty selenoid.
how a selenoid works is like:
imagine a tube with a metal cylinder inside. it moves towards the input of the co2 to open up. (cos if the other way around, it will forever stay open if co2 input pressure is high. if the input pressure is too great when the selenoid is in the closed position, when it tries to open, it must compress the co2 already in the tubing, which it can't.
